Toastmasters District 95 Division DWhere leaders are made

Why join

Whether it’s a job interview, a presentation in the office, or defending your master thesis, sooner or later we all experience moments in our lives and careers where we need to stand up and address an audience. Knowing how to speak and be heard and understood is an important skill that allows you to reach your full potential. Toastmaster clubs offer a platform for practicing communication and leadership skills in a safe environment and with a proven method. Members meet on a regular basis in clubs and practice their skills in front of peers. The stage is a lab where new and experienced members can keep returning to hone the skills they already have, and those they want to build up.

PROVEN METHOD

Our new education program Pathways helps you develop your speaking skills one step at a time.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Toastmasters provide you a safe environment to find you voice.

CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

A key element of Toastmasters is feedback, motivating and tailored to each individual member.

COST EFFECTIVENESS

Membership fees vary from € 50 to 85 per semester. Return on investment for your personal growth is priceless.

On average it takes one and a half years to make it through the public speaking boot camp and complete the ten speeches from the basic Competent Communication manual. For some speakers this is enough, for others being a Toastmaster becomes a way of life and they get addicted to it.

Toastmasters is a worldwide system of non-profit clubs in which members can learn public-speaking, listening and leadership skills. There are no teachers in Toastmasters; we learn from each other by observing, listening and giving positive, encouraging – but nevertheless honest! – feedback. A Toastmasters club meeting is a learning laboratory. It provides a non-threatening environment where members can progress at their own pace. Finally, a Toastmasters meeting should be fun because, as TM founder Ralph Smedley said, “we learn best in moments of enjoyment”.

I joined Toastmasters on practical grounds, to improve my public speaking skills and boost my conference talks. After reaching this goal I am still with Toastmasters, mostly because I enjoy being a part of a dynamic and active community.

I joined Toastmasters to improve my public speaking skills. But I got stuck with Toastmasters because of the hands-on, voluntary style to improve myself within a group of similar thinking people. After a few years realized that I was not only in the middle of a mutual supporting network but as well how much more I can learn from other Toastmasters. Today after over 14 years I still am with Toastmasters as it is a great experimental ground to improve and to develop new aspects of my speaking and leading.

OUR CLUBS

Most clubs meet twice per month and are delighted to have visitors attending their meetings, be that individuals coming to a Toastmaster meeting for the very first time or fellow Toastmasters from other clubs. To find a club nearby select the city and the language and press "Select."

Events & Blog

Visiting fellow Toastmasters in other clubs is a great way to share best practices and pick up tips and tricks beyond those exercised on the home club ground. To further facilitate the exchange of know-how our Division regularly organizes special events that bring together members of different clubs, even those living in different cities.

We are also proud to have very active members who organize public speaking events outside of their clubs, thereby attracting new members as well as providing Toastmaster members with an opportunity to test their newly-acquired public speaking skills in a different environment. Of course, because such events are not organized by the Division team, our Division is responsible neither for content nor for price of these public speaking events.

At the division and area conferences, special clubs events and open door days, standup comedy and storyteller nights our members make sure that the room is full of laughter and happy faces.
